I hope the movies are not the same as the cartoons of the 90s. I once watched a couple of episodes where Ash sends Pikachu to fight in the arena and then cries when Pikachu gets hit hard. I just wanted to ask, “buddy, you literally sent Pokemon into the damn arena where he was supposed to FIGHT, what were you hoping for?” But in general, I understand you now. In fact, the plot is not important at all. People just collect Pokemon like things, like Magic the gathering cards. Now I’m not sure if this is as insensitive or logical as possible.
AFAIK the first movie’s plot is exactly that; the cast of the anime realising how cruel Pokémon fights are, but they conveniently forget about it at the end.
